Hush Puppies

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Hush Puppies

    In a large bowl, mix together cornmeal, all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar until well combined. In another bowl, whisk together buttermilk, egg, and chopped green onions.

  2. 2

    Combine Mixtures

    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Fold in the finely chopped ham.

  3. 3

    Heat Oil

    In a deep skillet or pot, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).

  4. 4

    Fry the Hush Puppies

    Using a spoon or small ice cream scoop, drop batter into the hot oil and fry in batches until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

  5. 5

    Make the Honey Butter

    In a small bowl, mix cultured honey with softened butter until smooth and well combined.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve hush puppies warm with cultured honey butter and sprinkle with sea salt to taste.
